Sweet Baby

I have a third card with the same sketch from the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge...I blame it on the flag/pennant dies that I just got and the fact that this sketch uses TWO of them. I really hadn't intended to make a third card, but yesterday I was adding cards to our church card sales racks and realized we needed baby cards. Plus...CAS-ual Fridays has a color challenge - to use pink on a CAS card. What was I to do but make a baby card...

This time I flipped the sketch. I like it the way it is, but I didn't want that giraffe staring off of the page.

I also have a huge thank you and shout out to Doris at The Stamping Tower. The cards that I was putting in the church card racks yesterday - they arrived in the mail this week from Doris!!! She sent me her extra cards!! I love the world of cardmaking. Doris is in New Jersey, I'm in Colorado. We've never met, but we have a bond. Thank you so much, Doris, you made my day, week, month!!

Kim, this is the just the sweetest baby card! I really like that delicate frame and the clean design. I wouldn't have given thought to the giraffe staring off the page, but after I read that, it makes total sense and it really makes a big difference in the overall design.That's a great tip. Thanks for sharing! Have a great day today! :)

About Me

I live in Parker, Colorado with my husband, two teen boys, a dog and two cats. I began my adult life as an insurance actuary. I was then blessed to be able to spend 15 years raising my boys during which time I discovered stamping! Now I have obtained a second college degree and have begun working as an accountant for my town. Being surrounded by men at home and being surrounded by numbers work, is it any wonder that I am passionately in love with creating cards - a rainbow of colors, glitter, ribbons and stamps, and a wonderful online community!?

COPIC CHARTS

I have made the decision to stop updating Copic charts - except for Stampin' Up. My Favorite Things and Taylored Expressions have their own charts available. I do not want to promise to keep Papertrey Ink up-to-date because all of their new colors are stock colors which already exist within MFT, TE or SSS and I don't have room to keep buying! I do have old charts available. If you want them, just email me (above) and I can send you a link.
